Mobli successfully compiled XBMC (soon to be Kodi) for the new platform with minimal work, stating that the port works “pretty much flawlessly”. He has posted Android APKs for those wanting to test it out if you have an ADT-1.

The Google+ post was accompanied with screenshots showing an episode of Sherlock running at 1080p can be seen below:
